Hacienda de San Rafael | nr Seville | Spain

A family owned boutique hotel,  formerly a thriving olive estate, the 18th century Hacienda has been restored and converted with rustic charm and modern sophistication. This is a place where you can do what you want, when you want and how you want. Your holiday, you chose!

Perfect for… an excellent add on to a Seville City break.  On holiday with friends?  Have the place to yourselves and rent the whole Hacienda. 

Where… in the Andalucian countryside, equidistant between the historic cities of Seville and Jerez. To the East lie the white villages alongside the Sierras of Grazalema and to the West, Coto Doñana National Park..

And the rooms… the bougainvillea-filled courtyard acts as centre stage to eleven duplex designed bedrooms. All the rooms are individually decorated by Kuky Mora-Figueroa using fabrics, antiques and artefacts .  Each has a private verandah where breakfast is served under the morning sunshine.  For something a little more special, there are three casitas offering the ultimate in rustic charm. Located in a private garden with a shared infinity pool, each has a large bedroom, separate living room, kitchenette and bathroom.  
 
Food and facilities… endless possibilities for alfresco dining in the many covered or shaded areas around the estate, you can chose from the courtyard to the garden, poolside or in the main pergola. The Barbecues are legendary.  The dining room has a homely feel complemented by the fresh produce and delicious meals produced by the chef daily.  There are three swimming pools located within the gardens and a Padel tennis court.  Massages and Yoga can also be arranged.    

Activities…  For a flavour of the ‘real’ Andalucia wine tasting tours can be organised as well as trips in the mountains by horseback or on foot.  Each experience has a personal touch and no request is too much for the team at Hacienda de San Rafael. 

In the know… if you’re wanting to spend a couple of nights in Seville too, why not stay at Hacienda San Rafael’s charming sister hotel Corral del Rey.
